AcuPoint Injection Therapy

AcuPoint Injection Therapy is an integrative treatment involving vitamin, herbs or homeopathic injections. This quick and easy way to stay on top of your health can boost your immune system, fight off fatigue, and even reduce pain and inflammation. 

Some of the more common conditions treated with Acupoint Injection Therapy include:

• Headaches
• Neck Pain
• Shoulder Pain
• Knee Pain
• Low Back Pain
• Hip Pain
• Foot Pain
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Tennis Elbow
• Sciatica
• Achilles Tendinitis

Acupoint Injection Therapy is the injection of herbs, homeopathics and other nutritional supplements in the form of sterile substances into acupuncture points to promote, retain, and restore health, for pain management and palliative care, for acupuncture anesthesia and to prevent disease.

Point injection and traditional acupuncture seem to provoke similar physiological responses, although the greater needle sensation seen with point injection might indicate it could have more powerful clinical effects. Further studies of repeated point injection are necessary to indicate whether this technique may provide a method of increased strength of point stimulation, as an alternative to traditional needling in acupuncture research.

• A 2007 Exploratory study found that Acupuncture + AcuPoint Injection had a significantly stronger effect on the participants healing compared to just acupuncture alone.

• A 2016 double-blind, double-dummy, randomised controlled trial compared vitamin K3 acupuncture point injection to saline acupuncture point injection and vitamin K3 deep muscle injection. Patients in each group received 3 injections at a single treatment visit. Patients in all 3 groups experienced pain relief from the injection treatments.

• A 2002 Randomized Controlled Trial Children undergoing anesthesia and surgery were randomized to four groups. In children, P6 acupoint injections are as effective as droperidol in controlling early postoperative nausea and vomiting.
